Omar Kandeel Email & Phone Number

My love for technology led me to earn a Computer Science degree in 2000. After a couple of years of writing code I realized I was in the wrong place. I wanted to go places, meet people and gain more exposure. I was not going to achieve that in front of a computer screen all day.I found my way when I joined Raya and LINKdotNET. I discovered my passion for business and earned an MBA in 2009, followed by training in Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. With my newly acquired skills, I founded Improvision, a management consulting firm.At Improvision we landed and delivered multiple projects in software and process management for big brands in Egypt and beyond. It was in Improvison where I learned most how to start, run and grow businesses from scratch.I then joined Onspec Tawakol (oil & gas) where I established a sales network across 5 countries in the Middle East. By recruiting partners and managing sales activities, I established a foothold in the region, built a huge pipeline from nothing, and closed some deals in the process.I was then offered to lead Shams Chemicals, an agricultural chemicals company. Despite having no knowledge or experience in chemicals, I embarked on that exciting journey! It was gratifying to see the fruits of my leadership turn around the company from losing to one of the biggest (and most profitable) in its field today!After Shams I returned to the software industry launching two software products. I built the team, established the operational framework and led the operations that resulted in the successful launch of Contellect (for eFile) and Coral for (Coral Technology). It was a privilege to build and launch software products from scratch!I have a philosophical and political side of me! After the Egyptian Revolution, I co-founded a party that won three seats in parliament. I was also responsible for devising the political and economic program for my party. My interest in policy-making encouraged me to earn a diploma in Public Policy in 2018. I remain highly interested in public policy, economic management, and government.I am a big-picture, long-term minded professional. I believe effective leadership entails achieving outcomes through others, and a high degree of self-awareness, humility, empathy, and the ability to dream. I try to be all that and continue to learn and grow to this day.I am lucky to have had a great career, with wonderful managers, supportive partners and exceptional teams.
